Morton Ranch Elementary
I am thrilled to announce that Andrea Browder, our exceptional 1st grade teacher, has been named MRE Teacher of the Year! Her hard work, dedication, and passion for teaching are truly deserving of this recognition.
Additionally, we are excited to share that Camila Quinones, our talented Kindergarten teacher, will represent MRE as Rookie Teacher of the Year. Camila’s enthusiasm and commitment to her students make her an outstanding addition to our team.
The Ranch is incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated and inspiring educators who go above and beyond to make a positive impact on our students every day.
Congratulations to both Andrea and Camila!
Morton Ranch Elementary is a school where student learning thrives and children feel good about the place they call their school. We believe this is because of the incredible students who attend Morton Ranch Elementary, the awesome staff who believe relationships with students are key to optimal learning, and more importantly, the incredible support of our families.

With your generosity and support, we hope to use the funds raised for the following:
- Student Enrichment Programs

- Teacher Appreciation
- Family Events...and more!

In compliance with Senate Bill 2050, passed during the 87th Legislative Session, all Texas school districts are required to collect information annually through student surveys on bullying and cyberbullying. The results of these surveys help develop action plans to address student concerns.
All Katy ISD students in grades 4-12 are invited to participate in an online survey administered by K12 Insight. As a trusted provider of online surveys for school districts nationwide, K12 Insight ensures the confidentiality of participants’ responses.
Students will be asked to enter their student ID numbers to maintain data integrity. These IDs are used solely to verify participation by campus and grade level. K12 Insight does not share data that links participants to their individual responses with Katy ISD or any external parties.
Students will complete the survey in their classroom during the survey administration window, February 18- March 7. Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary. If you wish to opt your child out of the survey, please log in to MyKaty and select the KISD Option Portal icon.
The deadline to opt out is February 9, 2025.

When sickness or another reason necessitates an absence, a note signed by the parent/guardian or phone call explaining the reason for the absence is required prior to or when the student returns to school. If a student fails to submit a note from the parent or the school does not receive a phone call from the parent, the absence will automatically be considered unexcused.
Absences for vacations, business trips, babysitting, working, and other such reasons shall be considered unexcused. Read here for more information regarding attendance in KISD.
